[kepler-dev] Build Script - Checking out Ptolemy

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Chandrika

See http://mercury.nceas.ucsb.edu/kepler/pipermail/kepler-dev/2009-June/014880.html

Checking out https is more likely to work than using svn or svn+ssh, so
I'm all for it.

One issue is that when users check out the ptII repository using svn://,
then they are not likely to able to update the ptII repository.

To update ptII repository, users should check out ptII using svn+ssh://.
A few users (primarily sponsors) can write the ptII repository via https.

However, many sites seem to be blocking https svn traffic.  svn also
needs to be configured, see

http://chess.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptexternal/wiki/Main/Subversion#FirewallAndProxy

It would be nice if it was easy to configure the build system to use
https or svn+ssh to check out the repository.

The fact that authorized users are not able to write the ptII repository
using https is largely artificial, but not likely to change.
